Question

In general the flow manufacturing environment is not suitable for Lean production

A

True

B

False

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B.

Continuous process or continuous production is the production of material that are being processed continuously in motion. In order to design a lean manufacturing layout, designing the process flow is very important. Designing the process flow refers to arranging the process steps in a flow order so that it can minimize the cycle time and travel distance. This will also makes the layout effective by eliminating the crossover points and making the manufacturing process continuous. Thus, in designing a lean production facility layout, a designer should design for work flow balance.
